Amid difficulties

Before I get to my post, I have decided to share something I saw today.
I came across this from a friend of mine and I think it is awesome information. Here is what he has to say:

Did you know that every 30 days it is necessary to clean the computer screen from the inside? Many people ignore this fact and do not know how. Manufacturers take advantage of this ignorance to increase their sales. My IT guy shared this and said feel free to share it with all of you! To clean the screen from the inside, just click this link:

Did you clean your screen? Awesome, now you can see much better and we can continue with the post.

We are all faced with things that don't quite go our way. They could be financial trials, they could be emotional, physical, on the job trials... you name it and, chances are, someone else can explain it for you as he/she is going through something similar.

Why do we have trials? Because it is only through these challenges that we become strong and become the person we are meant to be.

Would the diamond look the way it does if it would have not been put under pressure when it was coal?
Would a tree be your beautiful bed frame if it would have not been cut and chiseled?
Would you have learned to walk if you had not taken those first steps and fallen many times over?

What is important is that we remember that the Savior went through it all. He suffered for our mistakes, but He also suffered for those challenges that we are now facing. He knows what we are going through. He can help us. He can comfort us. All we need to do is to reach out to Him and let Him lighten our load. He lovingly told us, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

So, when you find yourself discouraged and heavy with burdens open your heart to the One who can understand you and He will comfort you. I know this to be true. I have been there and done that. I felt peace and I felt love, His love.

You are not alone and you never will be.
